THE DREADNOUGHT BOYS ABOARD A DESTROYER.

The adventures of two young men of wars-men on board one of the wickedest types of sea-fighters,—the speedy, deadly, torpedo-boat destroyer. On board one of these sea-tigers the Dreadnought Boys voyage to a turbulent South American republic, in the internal troubles of which our country has, on account of her citizens' interests, a duty of protection and supervision to perform.

The part the boys played in the revolution which threatened to bankrupt several American interests, and how they saved the day for the government by clever means and clear grit, is well told. At one stage of their adventures, the boys handle a South American destroyer with such cleverness and seamanship that they avert disastrous consequences to our flag and interests. Like its predecessor this book possesses the tang of the sea. Its action also takes place against the shifting, kaleidoscopic background of the revolution.

The excitement of warfare on sea and land, the thrill of sustained interest in the lads' scrapes and difficulties is on every page. Best of all, the volume shows the part that our navy takes shaping world politics; how it does big things without fuss or fireworks. Emphatically a book for every lad who has felt the call of the sea or the thrill of good fighting and adventure in tropic climes.
